I've never heard of any PD Lints available... <insert favourite bad pun 
refering to the stuff in my pockets> :-)

Seriously, I don't think there is a PD one, but if someone gets one of
these PD C compilers working, perhaps I'll write one ( I've written one
before, and it's alot of work even *with* the C compiler to strip down ).
Of course, with my motivation level these days, I'd never finish it  :-)
( wanna help Sven? )

Speaking of the PD C compilers, are either of them ( the GNU or the other one )
ANSI compatible ... if they are, lint is a breaze to write with them.
